Farrington, "and when, Patty, at one o'clock on the sixth of October, 1789, the line of carriages drove Louis XVI. and his family away from here to Paris, the Chateau was left vacant and has never since been occupied." "In October," said Patty, "and probably just such a blue and gold day as this! Oh, how they must have felt!"
"You see, mother?" John smiled sadly. "Yes, my son. You will do what you think best and manliest." "How's the cat?" asked Warrington. "It still wanders about, inconsolable," answered Patty. How careworn he looked! "Poor beast! It is lucky to have fallen in such good hands." "When you are mayor," said Patty, "you must give me a permit to rescue stray cats from the pound."
They would tell Miss Dorothy, and she would think of her little friend as some one desperately wicked, too wicked, no doubt, to associate with Patty. The tears stood in Marian's eyes at this possibility. It was very, very wrong, of course, to go off without asking leave, and it was worse to spoil her clothes.
Miss Pace was so bewildered that it took her some minutes to recover her consciousness; and it was arranged that Gertrude should stop where she was for an hour or two, and that George should call for her when he passed that way with the carriage on his return from the depot. Miss Patty Pace was not a person of much hospitality.
Her beauty, which a painter in Europe had once compared to a lamp, was still so radiant that it seemed to drain the colour and light from her surroundings. Even Patty, with her fresh youth, lost a little of her vividness beside the glowing maturity of the other woman.
She felt that some day she would be caught with the goods. She adored Miss Kate and took nothing from her. Finally she began taking jewelry to sell. This morning she was on her way to find a hiding place for the two rings and a diamond locket taken from another girl, when she heard Ethel and Patty call.
Then Ma'amselle wanted to hear again all about Patty's wonderful ride, the difficulties she had encountered, the nerve strain she had experienced, and the help and comfort Rosamond had been to her. "And," concluded Patty as she wound up her recital, "I don't want any one to tell Mrs. Farrington about it, because I want to tell her myself."
Marie deftly arrayed Patty in the pretty trifles, and poked pillows behind her back until she was comfortable. "Goodness gracious sakes! Marie," said Patty, rubbing her eyes, "you waked me out of the soundest sleep I have ever known! WHY bother me with breakfast?" "Had to do it," returned Marie, calmly, drawing up a big chair for herself. "Now keep your eyes open and behave like a lady.
Patty was a good hostess and did not bother her guests by over-entertaining them. But at Wistaria Porch there was always enough to do, if any one wanted to do it, and delightful lounging places, if one were indolently inclined. Searching among the catalogued records, Chick easily found the one Elise wanted. "What a lot of records they have of the baby's voice!" he exclaimed.
One evening, as our party sat in the drawing-room of the hotel, after dinner, some callers' cards were brought to them. The guests proved to be Bert Chester and his three friends, of whom he had told Patty before. The four young men were about to start on a motor tour, and were spending a few days in Paris first.
